    SSN are saying we've signed him on an 18 month loan.

    18 months is great for us and for the lad as well as he will get some European experience I think he's a good player excited to see what he can do

    Where is Daddybear/hoopsmadbrian?

    I won't believe any source until he has confirmed it through his insider knowledge.

    Courtois played against Chelsea because Atletico Madrid paid the fee Chelsea requested them to pay in order to play against them. It had nothing to do with UEFA rules.

    Im sure this came up with courtois at atletico Madrid and Chelsea a few years ago. And uefa stated they do not recognise that clause in a loan deal.
    It would be something agreed or not between the two clubs, but uefa do not prevent it from being an issue.

    If this is done on an 18month deal, fair enough.

    Would rather someone with more experience and the likes, but if we have 4months to get him up to speed for the qualifiers, then im happy enough to give it a shot.

    Competition for places very intense now..

    It's got to be a good thing adding this undoubted quality to the squad.

    Looking forward to seeing him in action.

    It cost them a reputed 5 million quid but it was latter stages of the competition and they obviously felt it was worth it!

    Chelsea clearly didn't think they'd pay it on the off chance they were drawn together.

    I'm happy enough with an 18 month deal.

    Hopefully he's as exciting as his hype suggests and good enough to get into the starting eleven.

    Happy with this. Continuity should always be the key going into the CL qualifiers.

    Would I be safe to assume that was chelseas request to let him play? And not a standard option.

    Was built into the original loan contract way before the prospect of both Clubs meeting one another!

    Hope we have it set up so we get a % of the transfer fee when Southampton go to buy him from City in 18 months ?
